Introduction Text ...and this week, mine changed to the number 70! The older I'm getting, the more I have to push myself to exercise. When I begin my walk, both ankles hurt for several minutes. Getting on and off my bike is getting harder. And rising from the floor after I do some strength training...well, it's not a pretty sight! But when I think of the alternative - losing my mobility - those things are a small price to pay, indeed!

Get my weight back to 145 or less. Firm up. Be more active and energetic. Get off most of my prescription meds.

Food: Eat a healthy balance of the major food groups, averaging 1400 daily calories. Exercise: At least 150 minutes of cardio a week, including a walk or bike ride most days. Strength-train two to three times a week. Overall: Seek a life balanced physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.

A Christian by new birth, and a Baptist by choice. A voracious reader and a night owl, which makes early-morning tasks hard. Mom of two, Grammy of four and wife of one!
